Chuva na C-10

[Verse 1]
My old C-10 sputtered, coughed a dying breath,
Just three miles from your porch, out here in the pouring wet.
Headlights dimming, dashboard glow a hazy blur,
Felt the quiet resignation, like a sailor's stir.

[Chorus]
Just a long walk, through the red mud's embrace,
Every single step brings me closer to your face.
Past the mango trees, where the shadows softly creep,
Secrets the Bahian night will always keep.

[Verse 2]
Casuarinas swayed, whispering secrets low,
Red earth turned to river, where the old trucks go.
Felt the cool rain wash the worry from my skin,
Like a rising tide, washing all my doubt within.

[Chorus]
Just a long walk, through the red mud's embrace,
Every single step brings me closer to your face.
Past the mango trees, where the shadows softly creep,
Secrets the Bahian night will always keep.

[Bridge]
Some journeys ain't smooth, like a calm lagoon,
They churn and they turn, beneath a stormy moon.
But the current always pulls me, straight back to your shore,
Knowin' what waits for me, makes me want it more.

[Outro]
Yeah, the taste of salt on the wind, mixed with rain and red clay,
Made that long walk home feel like a brand new day.
